Today's Black On Blues Podcast Track Of The Day is another popular Blues women special including Etta Britt, Erja Lyytinen (pictured), Kimberlee M Leber, Lisa Lystam Family Band, Pam Taylor and Sunday Wilde & Reno Jack.

Tonight flamboyant British Rock ’n’ Roll band The Struts will be playing a hugely anticipated headline show at the Electric Ballroom in London with fast-rising Sheffield band Bang Bang Romeo who will be supporting them. The Struts will themselves be supporting The Rolling Stones at two of their European shows this week, namely iZurich, Switzerland, this Wednesday and Lucca, Italy, this Saturday. Additional dates with the Foo Fighters have also been announced on their US Autumn tour, which starts on Sunday 1st October. The Struts' single ‘One Night Only’ (today's Vid Of The Day) is the first taste from their second album, which will be released in early 2018.

Kill The Ideal's new single 'Dangerous!' is today's Track Of The Day. The track premiered on Kerrang! Radio's Fresh Blood show with Alex Baker and if you love explosive riffs and huge choruses, you'll love this. Frontman Ash Wilson was a victim of bullying in his childhood, and he channels the negative emotions he experienced into his lyrics. The track comes from Kill The Ideal's upcoming self-titled EP, which was recorded with Lower Than Atlantis' guitarist/producer Ben Sansom. They've been building up a lot of support on the UK Rock scene and have toured with the likes of Lonely The Brave, Black Peaks and Decade to name a few. They'll also be taking part today in Soccer Six Fest at the Mile End Stadium alongside The Darkness and Mallory Knox before a headline show at Leicester's Pi Bar on Friday 29th September and a slot at 2Q Festival, Manchester on Saturday 28th October.

He opened with James Taylor's 'Fire And Rain' and that pretty much set a very high bar as a mesmirised St. Pancras Old Church congregation watched the acoustic mastery of Dan Reed at work last Wednesday night. On a night of anecdotes, audience requests and of course tracks from his new solo album 'Confessions', of which 'Smile' was a stand out, the tranquil, intimate setting of this beautiful church, certainly added another dimension to proceedings. Indeed it was 'Champion' and today we have a few photos from the gig in our photo gallery here.

The Bad Flowers, yesterday released their new single 'Thunder Child' which is today's Track Of The Day. To support the release of 'TC', the 3-piece will embark on an 10-date UK tour seeing them support The Picturebooks in October on half of their gigs. The Bad Flowers, formed from the depths of the Black Country in 2014, comprise of lead vocalist and guitarist, Tom Leighton, whose signature riffs, fuzz emotive guitar and pure vocals have distinctive sound unlike anybody else. Bassist Dale Tonks provides a deep heavy groove and tasty bass runs that underpins Karl Selickis' chest pumping drums and impeccable rhythmic feel. We first caught the guys at the O2 Islington Academy supporting Crobot and Dirty Thrills in June last year - a breakthrough year as The Flowers left local venues in a wake of blood, sweat and ringing ears when they opened for Canadian rockers The Sheepdogs in Birmingham, then onward to extensive tours up and down the UK to packed venues with Jared James Nichols and Scorpion Child, plus an appearance at Hard Rock Hell. Their highly anticipated debut album, titled 'Starting Gun', is set for release in early 2018.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are currently putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming eighth studio album, the follow-up to 2013's 'Specter At The Feast', entitled 'Wrong Creatures' which will be released on Friday 12th January. BRMC - namely Peter Hayes (vocal, guitar, harmonica), Robert Levon Been (vocal, bass, guitar) and Leah Shapiro (drums) - started to formulate the album in the Summer of 2015. Shapiro was six months clear of life-saving brain surgery for Chiari Malformation, a rare disorder that restricts the flow of spinal fluid between the brain and spine. The trio had come off a tour and began sketching out new songs in their private lockout space appropriately nicknamed ‘The Bunker’ in North Hollywood. The band also recently released their first song from 'WC' - 'Little Thing Gone Wild' (today's Video Of The Day) - a dirty, sexy, rollicking ride of big licks and heavy bass. The band are also returning to European shores with a comprehensive live itinerary starting with a sold out Dublin Academy on Monday 23rd October which includes London's O2 Academy Brixton on Saturday 4th November.

We last saw Dan Reed with his awesome 'Network' at the 100 Club in March. Fast forward six months to a stripped back and naked Dan last night in the intimate surroundings of London's beautiful St. Pancras Old Church. As expected, Reed never disappoints - with a mesmeric set in support of his new solo album 'Confessions'. With a review and more photos to come, check out today's Vid Of The Day.

"A memorable evening, that those present did not want to end, was brought to a close by the A capella 'Long Way To Go' - with the DRN and the 100 Club punters all singing in union - a fitting finale. To be perfectly honest - we are all still buzzing after last Friday and it was a real privilege to witness and enjoy a gig that I doubt will be bettered this year. As the saying goes - form is temporary - class is permanent. Just can't wait to see these guys again." That was our take on the brilliant Dan Reed Network in March (pictured) and Dan returns to London tonight at St. Pancras Old Church as part of his intimate and his latest 'Confessions' solo album (Track Of The Day) tour.

Having recently been announced as part of a stunning Planet Rock sponsored four band bill headlined by Black Star Riders for a UK tour in November, London based Rock group Dirty Thrills (Video Of The Day) launched their new album, ‘Heavy Living’, which is due to be released tomorrow, by playing the whole album in its entirety at a special launch party at The Crowndale in Camden, London last night. We first introduced you to Louis James - lead vocals and harmonica, Jack Fawdry - guitar, backing vocals, Steve Corrigan - drums and Aaron Plows – bass in August 2015 plus we also had the pleasure of recently interviewing the band at Ramblin' Man Fair. Anyway, these guys proved once again that they are on the up, so check out today's Vid Of The Day with a review and more pics in the pipeline.
